[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1474622, member: 17493"] Sounds like a victim of a "lift and tuck". If you buy a toyota that the owner says, I just did a head gasket. EXPECT to do it again soon. NOBODY does a good job at replacing head gaskets. They dont do it right. They dont use toyota gaskets. They dont adjust the valves. They dont torque correctly. they dont clean very well. They dont INSPECT the head for ROT. The lift and tuck is when a crappy previous owner has NEVER EVER maintained his old toyota. Now it EATS a HEAD, not a gasket. The head gets so rotted out that the gasket has nothing holding it anymore and it fails. Now the owner wants to fix it and UNLOAD it on someone like you. Since he is planning to sell it he does the absolute minimum to fix it. The lift and tuck is when the bare minimum is taken apart to allow the head to be lifted and the new gasket slid in and then bolted back together. The owner has no idea if the head is rotted out and doesnt care, he is going to sell it anyways. Now YOU buy the rig and within the first three months it eats another head gasket because the gasket was not the problem, THE HEAD WAS. I would be willing to bet money (and IM cheap) that if you perform a compression test and those two holes are whacko then the head will be rotted out when ya remove it. Hope Im wrong and you just have an injector plug or ground issue. :D [/QUOTE]
